Testimonial Tuesday

Dear Branch Basics,

… searching for “green” products and natural cleaners, but never could seem to find anything (and I have tried SOOOOO many of them–wasting so much money) that worked well, or still printed “must use in a well-ventilated area” on the bottle. There were also so many questionable ingredients even in many of the “green” products on the market and the many different smells and fragrances that accompanied them were just horrible (I’m extremely sensitive to smells/fragrances), 98% of them were very ineffective for what I needed them to do… UGH. I tried cleaning with vinegar and baking soda for awhile, but the smell of the vinegar really made me sick and I felt like it didn’t get things as clean as I wanted them to be. I had all these homemade concoctions for cleaning different things and it was so cumbersome. I wasn’t happy with any of those solutions.

I have 4 small children (ages 6 and under) and I always felt so horrible about cleaning the bathroom, mirrors, mopping floors or whatever with cleaners that seemed to fume for hours even after I was finished cleaning with them. I didn’t want to expose them directly to the chemical cleaners I was using in our home. I would never let them in the same room with me when I was cleaning something. I too, shuddered at the thought of needing to spend a large portion of the day inhaling those chemicals myself, thinking all the while how horrible this must be for my body and lungs. The children also always complained about the vinegar smell when I used that. They also always want to “help” me when I’m cleaning and I never would let them because I didn’t want them handling chemicals. So, we were all feeling unhappy about the whole cleaning/cleaners situation and so I ended up not really cleaning that much because of the impasse I’d arrived at in regards to using cleaning products that were terribly unhealthy or just plain ineffective. I just did enough cleaning to barely get by and keep the house presentable.

Like I said in my previous email, your cleaner is the solution that I have dreamed about for years. My criteria for the type of product I was looking for was quite lengthy. I wanted something that really worked, something that was an all-purpose cleaner, something that was natural and not laden with chemicals, something that didn’t have any odor or smell, something that I could feel good about my small kids using to help me, something that I could use while my kids were in the same room with me, and something that was cost-effective and budget friendly.

I have to say when I read about Branch Basics I was a little skeptical. Then I read more on your website about some of your own personal stories and experiences. I knew that with the experiences that the founders of Branch Basics had, this HAD to be worth trying. When my first order (the 32oz.) arrived, I tried it right away and was so very impressed. My trial run left me with streak free mirrors, clean toilets, sparkling stainless steel appliances with NO fingerprints, grease-free stovetop and range, super clean granite countertops, etc. I was floored. It didn’t have an odor. It really worked. It was definitely all-purpose. It was natural and chemical-free. It was cost-effective. 

It met ALL of my criteria. I was holding my “dream cleaner” in my hand. I was SO excited. I knew that Branch Basics was going to change my (cleaning) life. 

Now, after one week of using Branch Basics, I am thrilled to say that I can clean whenever I want and wherever I want to in my house while carrying one bottle of cleaner. This has made cleaning SO easy and convenient for me! The fact that this is truly “fragrance-free” is wonderful. I don’t have to worry about my kids being in the same room with me because of fumes. And hey, I can give them a spray bottle and a rag and put them to work. I don’t worry about what irreparable damage I am doing to my own body. I can say that my house is cleaner today than it has been in SO long. Mostly because for the first time EVER, I’ve been able to “multitask” while playing with the little ones or keeping my eye on them while they play; I can spray down a few things and clean them, or wipe down the floor, whatever. I couldn’t be happier. And I haven’t even tried using it for laundry and hand soap yet.  

Anyway, I know I sound like an infomercial, but you need to know that your Branch Basics cleaner is amazing and a HUGE help to this mama.

Thank you and best regards,

Jennifer
